Chapter 21: Exploring the Office Building Again
Yin Shan opened two large backpacks filled with the supplies she had taken from the space on her way upstairs. Yin Shan's bag contained 20 unpacked self-heating hot pots, 20 bags of rice noodles, and five coolers. Yin Zhiwen's bag was filled with clothes and some steel pipes.
Guan Yunhua said, "You two have been away for several days, and this is all you brought back? Do you have any respect for yourself?"
Yin Shan listened to her mother's shocking remarks for several seconds without saying anything. Yin Zhiwen said, "Time is tight, and there are survivors at the live broadcast company. We can't take everything away, but we still have to go back and get some."
When Hou Ting heard this, she immediately said, "I'll go, I'll go!"
Yin Shan refused, "My dad and I will go, and you three will guard the house. There's an extra door on the 22nd floor, so we should install one near the stairs. An extra door is always good for defense. We'll weld these steel pipes to the stairwell in the next couple of days to prevent them from jumping over the handrail."
Wang Lu nodded and said, "Okay, Monkey and I can do it. Auntie will just stand guard on the side while we do it. After what happened today, no one should bother us in the short term, but we still need to be careful."
Hou Ting looked at Yin Shan's supplies and said, "You and your uncle found all of these. We didn't contribute anything, so we don't want them."
Yin Zhiwen said, "No, divide it into five parts, one for each person. Guarding the house is also very hard work, so it's settled. Now you still need to train and improve yourself. Don't worry too much about not going out to find supplies. Shanshan and I will go in the dark tomorrow night, and you guys guard the house."
Hou Ting wanted to say something, but Guan Yunhua raised his hand to interrupt her: "Be obedient, your uncle and I also treat you as half daughters, as a family, don't pay too much attention to the details."
Hou Ting continued, "Auntie, you don't like spicy food, so I'll take two of those small hot pots and two of the rice noodles, okay?"
Yin Shan: I knew it, all the politeness is fake
Wang Lu: It’s over, I spoke too slowly
Guan Yunhua: All my feelings were ultimately misplaced...
The three of them returned to the 22nd floor. Guan Yunhua asked the father and daughter, "What did you bring back? You were so stingy and only managed to bring out this little."
Yin Shan explained, "I wanted to take out more, but I was worried about something happening at home, so I just packed up a few."
After Yin Zhiwen explained what he had found, Guan Yunhua nodded and said, "If you go again tomorrow night, bring back more! It'll be easier to find a clear path so you can have something better to eat."
Yin Shan took out three walkie-talkies, tuned the channels, left one for Guan Yunhua, and prepared to take the other one to the 21st floor tomorrow.
Yin Zhiwen took a radio from the room, tuned the channel, and told Guan Yunhua that no matter what was broadcast on the channel, he should write it down word for word.
Guan Yunhua nodded, knowing that this might be a way for the Xinlong Gang to send a signal, so he turned the volume up to the maximum to prevent himself from missing any messages while busy.
The next night, the father and daughter quietly went downstairs in the middle of the night and headed to the live broadcast company. Yin Shan asked in confusion, "We've already collected everything we can, so what's the point of going again?"
Yin Zhiwen said, "I used a night vision telescope to observe yesterday, and there really didn't seem to be any signs of human presence across the street, including the hotel above, so I'll go take another look."
Yin Shan asked, "Do you suspect they've truly evacuated?" Yin Zhiwen nodded and said, "That pistol has the New Dragon Gang logo, but I've never seen the serial number. They must have come after I retired. If they were from the New Dragon Gang, they might have ordered the live broadcast company to evacuate early. As for the hotel, it's possible that no one is living there anymore. Perhaps it's closed for renovations, or there might be some other reason."
When they arrived at the live broadcast company, they put away the speedboat, and the father and daughter put on night vision goggles and carefully began to explore.
When he arrived at the boss's office on the 10th floor, Yin Zhiwen went in again, opened the safe where the guns were previously stored, left a string of numbers, and locked the safe again.
Yin Shan asked, "If we leave traces, what if they come looking for us?"
Yin Zhiwen said, "This string of numbers translates to: The gun is in Bailang's hands, don't worry. Bailang is Bill's codename, I'll pass the message to him." Yin Shan asked, "What about yours?" Yin Zhiwen explained, "I retired due to nerve compression. I can't hold a gun anymore. It's too dangerous to keep it in my hands, so I've been keeping it with the gang. Now consider it my own gun back."
Yin Shan nodded and walked directly to the hotel upstairs. The door of the hotel was locked and it said it was closed for renovation. It looked like it had been closed for more than a month.
Yin Shan took out the hydraulic pliers from the space, cut the big lock directly, and pushed the door open.
Bricks, cement, electric drills, sand, wood, all taken away. Yin Zhiwen looked at his daughter taking whatever she could find and said slowly, "Yin Baopi, why don't you just take over the building?"
Yin Shan didn't even turn around, just said, "I do want to!" and continued walking up.
After all the decoration materials for the hotel were put away, Yin Shan clapped his hands, went to the 13th floor to put all the food into the space, pulled his father back to the 8th floor, took out several large boxes, and started to put the supplies away.
This time, Yin Shan unpacked 50 more self-heating hot pots and stacked them together. Then he pulled out 20 bags of snail noodles, five cartons of Coke, two cartons of beer, two cartons of dog food, two cartons of cat food, two cartons of canned pet food, and two cartons of cat litter. He also pulled out a lot of compressed biscuits, sausages, and snacks, filling ten large boxes in total, and then began to dig out medicine.
Yin Zhiwen's mouth twitched, and he reminded her: "Two boats, how do you explain taking so many things?"
Yin Shan said, "I collected a lot of rubber boats that day. I'll fill them up in a moment and then release them downstairs. Tie them up with ropes, and there won't be any problems."
Yin Zhiwen didn't say anything and quietly went to the side to inflate the rubber boat.
After Yin Shan finished cleaning up, he reminded her: "Take out some rice and noodles, what are you doing with all this mess!"
Yin Shan nodded, and put all the organized things into the space, preparing to put them out when he got to the community.
When they were almost at the residential complex, Yin Shan took out all the supplies, placed them in two assault boats and a rubber boat, and covered them with black waterproof cloth. At the same time, Yin Zhiwen took out a walkie-talkie and notified one person to stay upstairs and two people to come down to move the supplies.
Hou Ting and Wang Lu quickly went downstairs and waited for them at the window. When they saw two people coming back with four boats, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly helped to carry all the supplies in.
Yin Shan asked the three of them to move up and lie down first, while he looked after the supplies and put away the assault boat and rubber boat. Seeing them go up, Yin Shan directly put the assault boat and rubber boat into the space, then used his mind to control them and put them into the packaging bag, and then took them out and put them aside.
After the three of them came down, they left Yin Zhiwen to watch over the supplies while the three girlfriends continued to carry the supplies upstairs. After three trips back and forth, they finally managed to carry all the supplies up. After the last trip up, Wang Lu and Hou Ting collapsed on the ground exhausted.
Yin Shan was breathing heavily. The three of them carried all the supplies to the 22nd floor, and then pulled her best friend in.
